GRAIN MEASURING AND BAGGING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 632,253, datedSeptember 5, 1899.

Application filed December 24, 1897. Serial No. 663,304. (No model.)

elevating mechanism for a threshing-machine forming the subject-matterof another appli- .cation for Letters Patent filed by me of even dateherewith, Serial No. 663,305, and since issued as a patent datedSeptember 20, 1898,

No. 611,197, although such improved mechanism may be used in connectionwith threshing-machines or separators generally.

The object that I have in view is to pro-:

vide an improved mechanism in which the operation of the grain-feeder todeliver to the bags or sacks is controlled automatically according tothe quantity of grain contained in the casing of the attachment.

A further object is to provide a simple and.

or charged with grain, but which is designed to be set in motionautomatically. when the.

casing is charged with the proper quantity of grain to be delivered tothe bags or sacks which it is desired to fill. a

A further object that I have in View isto provide an automatic drivingmechanism for:

the grain distributer and feeder, which driving mechanism is thrown outof action while the casing is being charged and allows the gearing torotate idly; but when sufficient grain accumulates in the casing toofier resistance to the rotation of a part of the baggingmechanism atrip is thrown out of the path of the clutch mechanism and permits, thelatter to make the master-gear fast with the shaft and rotate the feederor distributer.

With these ends in view the invention consists in the combination, withacasing and a rotary feeder or distributer therein, of a drivingmechanismembodying a master gear mounted loosely on its shaft and a clutchmechanism adapted to make said master-gear fast with its shaft, anactuator-shaft adapted to be rotated by said master-gear and to partakeof a sliding movement or play under resistance of the grain asitaccumulates within the casing, and a spring-controlled trip normallylying in the path of the clutch, forming a part of the driving mechanismand operatively connected with the actuator-worm to be retracted therebyon its endwise movenlent out of the path of said clutch; and theinvention further consists in the novel combination of elements and inthe construction and arrangement of parts,which will be hereinafterfully described and claimed.

To enable others to understand my invention, I have illustrated the samein the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, andin which-- Figure 1 is a side view of part of a threshing-machine withmy measuring and bagging attachment applied thereto to receive the graindirectly from said machine. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional elevationthrough the measuring and bagging mechanism on the plane indicated bythe dotted line a a of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the measuringand -bagging mechanism. Fig. 4. is a horizontal sectional view throughthe measuring and baggingmechanism on the plane indicated by the dottedline b b of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detailvertical sectional Viewof the clutch-and trip mechanism for controlling the rotary feeder ordistributer, the plane of section being indicated by the dotted line 0 cof Fig. 6, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow. Fig. 6 is aplanview of the devices shown by Fig. 5, but illustrating the tripthrown out of the path of the clutch mechanism to permit the latter tomake the master-gear fast with the counter-shaft.

Like numerals of reference denote like and corresponding parts in eachof the several figures of the drawings. v V

In. the practical embodiment of my improved measuring and baggingattachment for grain-threshing machines or separators I provide'avertical casing or frame 1, which carries or sustains all of theoperating parts of the measuring and bagging mechanisnn theconveyer-casing thereof substantially in the manner disclosed by myprior application, to which reference has been made, and the casing isin the preferred embodiment of the invention removably or detachablyapplied to said threshing-machine or the conveyer-casing thereof for thepurpose of applying the measuring and bagging attachment to either sideof said threshing-machine or its conveyer-casing. i

As the combination of the measuring and bagging mechanism with anelevator and conveyer of a threshing-machine forms, broadly speaking,the subject-matter of my prior application, no claim for suchcombination of elements is made in this application, which is for theconstruction and combination of parts forming per se the improvedmeasuring and bagging mechanism.

The vertical casing or frame 1 is provided at its upper end with afeed-mouth 2, and the front wall of the casing has its upper partinclined or sloped downwardly and inwardly, as at 3, to a horizontalpartition 4, which extends transversely within the casin g, part wayacross the same, substantially as indicated by Fig. 2 of the drawings.The floor 5 is provided within the casing, below the horizontalpartition 42 therein, and the described construction of the casing, withits horizontal partition 4: therein and the floor 5, provides areceiving-chamber 6, which is formed by and between the walls of thecasing and the floor 5 thereof and which extends to the feed-mouth 2 ofsaid casing. The side walls of the casing on the plane of thecompartment in which operates the rotary feeder or distributer I havepreferably bulged or curved in an outward direction, as at '7, toenlarge the diameter of the chamber 6 for the purpose of accommodatingthe rotary feeder or distributer, to be hereinafter described.

Within the casing 1 isarranged the inclined deflector 8, which issituatedin an angle or corner formed between one of the sides and theinclined front wall 3 of said casing, and said deflector Sis situatedabove and inclined toward the edge of the horizontal partition 4 todirect the grain upon the rotary feeder or distributer and prevent itfrom lodging in the chamber 6 and upon the horizontal partition ttherein.

On the same horizontal plane as the inclined deflector 8 is arranged aninclined plate 9, situated in the opposite angle or corner formedbetween the opposite side wall and the inclined part 3 of the front wallof the casing, and this inclined plate 9 serves the same f unction asthe inclined deflector S. The inclined plate 9 also subserves anotherfunction in that it constitutes a guideway or inclosure for aregulating-slide 10, which is arranged between said plate and theinclined wall 3 of the casing. This regulating-slide is adapted to behoused wholly between the inclined plate 9 and the wall 3 of the casing,or it may be proj ected downwardly beyond the horizontal partition 4, soas to overhang the rotary feeder or distributer and vary the transversearea of the space or throat connecting the upper and lower parts of thevertical receiving chamber 6, thus serving in a measure to regulate thequantity of grain which may pass from the feed-mouth 2 into the lowercompartment of the chamber 6, which contains the rotary feeder ordistributer. For the purpose of regulating the adjustment of the slide10 I provide it with a bolt 11, which is rigidly fastened to the rearside of said slide 10 and projects horizontally through the slot 12,formed in the inclined part 3 of the front casing-wall, and the outerprojecting end of this adjusting-bolt 11 is adapted to receive a nut 13,which may be rotated on the bolt to bind against the wall 3 of thecasing and hold the slide 10 rigidly in its adjusted position.

The floor 5 of the casing is recessed, as at 15, on one side or edgethereof adjacent to the back wall of the casing 1, thus providing athroat or passage-way from the upper to the lower parts of thereceiving-chamber 6, and on this floor 5 is secured a stepbearing 14.

Extending vertically through the casing 1 is a shaft 17, the lowerextremity of which is stepped in the bearing 14 on the floor 5, whileits upper end is journaled in the shaft-bearing 18, which is secured tothe head of the casing 1, at one side of the feed-mouth 2 thereof. Thisvertical shaft 17 carries the rotary feeder or distributer 20, whichconsists of a suitable hub and a series of blades. This rotarydistributer is arranged in the lower compartment 16 of the verticalreceiving-chamber 6 of the casing, and it lies adjacent to the floor 5within said casing, certain of the blades of said feeder or distributerprojecting over the throat or passage which leads to the bottom end ofthe casing 1. The blades of the rotary feeder or distributor aredesigned to sweep close to the walls and the curved or bulged parts 7 ofthe casing, and to render said feeder or distributor more efficient inservice and to entirely sweep the grain from the lower compartment ofthe chamber 6 I provide the blades of said distributer or certain ofsaid blades with the flexible flaps 21. These flaps or wings 21 mayconsist of lengths of leather or other suitable material rigidlyfastened to the outer edges of the feeder-blades, but the detailedconstruction of the wings or flaps is not material and may be changed atpleasure.

In the upper part of the vertical casing 1 is arranged a horizontalcounter-shaft 22, journaled in fixed bearings 23, supported on the sidewalls of the casing, and this counter-shaft is provided with a beveledgear 2 1, which meshes with a suitable bevel-pinion 25, fixed to theupper extremity of the vertical shaft 17. One end of the counter-shaft22 is extended some distance beyond its bearing on the casing 1, and tosaid extended end of the counter-shaft is loosely fitteda master-gear26, which under certain conditions of service of the machine is designedto rotate idly on IIO said counter-shaft to permit the latter and thevertical shaft 17 to remain at rest; but under other conditions ofservice this master-gear is designed to be made fast to the countershaftfor the purpose of rotating the latter and the vertical shaft 17 and thefeeder or distributer 20, carried thereby. To attain these ends, Iprovide the master-gear on one side thereof with a gripping-flange 27which is of annular or ring-like form and projects beyond the toothedpart of such master-gear to enable aclutch mechanism to be associatedwith said annular gripping-flange.

The power necessary to rotate the feeder or distributer in a positivemanner is taken from one of the shafts of the threshing-machine orseparator with which the measuring and bagging mechanism is combined,and I provide the casing 1 of said attachment with suitablejournal-bearings 28 to receive the horizontal driving shaft 28,which i'sarranged,preferably, in a plane parallel with the counter-shaft 22 andbelow the horizontal plane thereof. The ends of this driving-shaft areextended beyond the hearings on the casingl, and to one end of saiddriving-shaft is rigidly fastened a pulley 29, around which may bepassed a belt to be driven by one of the shafts of thethreshing-machine. The other end of the driving-shaft 28 is providedwith a spur gearpinion 30, arranged to mesh directly with themaster-gear 26 and to rotate the latter under all conditions of serviceof the machine.

\Vithin the feed-mouth 2 of the casing 1 I arrange a horizontalscrew-shaft 31, which is mounted in bearings 32, provided on the sidesof the casing 1, and this shaft is adapted to rotate freely in itsbearings and to have a limited sliding or endwise movement therein whenthe grain accumulates in sufficient quantity in the casing 1 to fill thefeed-mouth 2 and offer resistance to the rotation of the screw-shaft 31.The screw may be of any suitable or preferred construction and attachedto the shaft in any suitable or desirable way, and the endwise movementof this screwshaft in one direction is limited by means of a stop-collar31, suitably attached to said shaft. To the other end of thescrew-shaft, which projects beyond the opposite side of the casing 1, isrigidly fastened a spur gearpinion 33, arranged to mesh with the teethof the master-gear 26, thus rotating the screwshaft 31 positivelythrough the gearing 26 3O from the driving-shaft 2S.

NVith the counter-shaft, on which is loosely mounted the master-gear 26,is combined a driver 34, which carries a clutch 36, adapted to engagewith the gripping-flange 27 of the master-gear and to maintain saidmaster-gear fast with the shaft when it is desired to rotate the feederor distributer 20; but this clutch 3b is designed to be thrown out ofservice by a trip 41, which is operatively combined with the slidablescrew-shaft 31. The driver is arranged compactly between one side of thecasing and the master-gear, and said driver is secured rigidly to theprojecting end of the counter-shaft 22, so as to rotate therewith. Thedriver projects radially from the countershaft, and in its free end isformed a slot or bifurcation, forming a seat 35 for the clutch 36. Thisclutch is in the form of an arm having its heel fitted loosely in theseat 35 of the driver, and said heel of the clutch is pivoted to thedriver eccentric to the axis of rotation of said driver, as clearlyindicated by dotted lines in Fig. 5, so as to have a limited oscillatingmovement or play with relation to the driver and the gripping-flange ofthe master-gear. The clutch is provided with a notch in one side thereofto form the gripping-faces 38, beyond the pivoted heel of saidclutch-arm, and the free extremity of said clutch is further providedwith the extended lip 39, adapted to abut against the trip 41 undercertain conditions of service and to force the clutch rearwardly andinto its seat in the driver a sufficient distance to cause thegripping-faces 38 to free themselves from the gripping-flange 27 of saidmastergear, thereby disconnecting the clutch from rigid engagement withsaid master -gear. lrVhen the trip 41 is thrown or moved by theactuating screw-shaft out of the path of the extended lip 39 of theclutch-arm, the clutch is moved by a spring 40 into such relation to themaster-gear that its gripping-faces 38 will bind tightly on thegripping-flange 27, and thereby make the master-gear fast with thedriver 34 and the counter.- shaft 22. This spring 40 for actuating theclutch-arm is arranged in compact relation to the driver and saidclutch-arm, and in the preferred construction I arrange this spring inthe seat 35 of the driver, one end of the spring being fitted againstsaid driver and the other end against the clutch-arm to have a tendencynormally to press or force the gripping-faces 3 8 of said clutch intointimate facial contact with the gripping-flange 27 of said master-gear.

The trip 41 is in the form of an irregularlyformed arm or bar arrangedin a substantial vertical position alongside one of. the walls of thecasing 1. This trip-bar is provided at a point intermediate of itslength with an elongated opening or slot 14 to .enable said trip bar orarm to be fitted loosely on the projecting end of the actuatingscrew-shaft 31, and the lower end of said trip-bar is pivotally mounted,as at 43, in a bracket 42, which is fixed in a suitable way to a side ofthe cats ing, thus mounting the trip-bar to have a limited rockingmovement when the screwshaft 31 is forced in an endwise direction. Theupper free end of the trip-bar is bent to form a loop 15, which servesto guide and sustain a cushioned stem 40, the latter being looselyfitted in vertically-alined openings in the loop-shaped end 45 of saidtrip-bar. This stem 40' is provided with a head 16, adapted to be struckby the extended lip 39 of the clutch-arm, and said stem is furtherprovided at a point intermediate of its length with a stop collar or nut46 against which is seated one end of a coiled cushion-spring 47, thatencircles the stem 46, and has its other end seated against the lowerpart of the loop 45 of said trip-bar, whereby the stem 46 is sustainedby the cushioned spring normally in the elevated position to afford ayielding-buffer to the impact of the clutch-arm 36 and reduce the shockand strain on the working parts, when the clutch is impelled forcibly Iinto contact with the trip for the purpose of be understood that theform of the spring is not material and that the same may be modified, asmay be desired.

The lower extremity or foot of the casingl is provided with theindependent deliveryspouts 49 50, and within said casing at the pointswhere the delivery spouts diverge therefrom I provide a pivoted gate 51,arranged to direct the grain into one or the other of the spouts 49 or50, according as it is desired to deliver the grain to one bag or theother of the two bags which may be suspended from the casing 1. Forconvenience in operating this adjustable gate 51 I provide a handle 52,which may be grasped by hand to throw the gate into either of itsadjusted positions. The delivery-spouts are provided on one side thereofwith the notched or serrated plates 53, while on the other side of thespouts the pins 54 are attached for the purpose of holding the mouths ofthe bags or sacks in opened or spread positions to receive the grainfrom said spouts.

The entire measuring or bagging attachment is designed to be fastened toa threshing-machine or a conveyer-casing thereof by means of thefasteners 55, which are shown as consisting of plates and hooks adaptedto interlock with each other and fasten to the casing 1 and thethreshing-machine; but it is evident that the means for removablymountin g the measuring and bagging attachment on the threshing-machineor its conveyer-casing may be modified within the skill of the mechanic.

In operation the measuring and bagging attachment is first applied tothe threshing-machine or the conveyer and elevator casing therein inposition to receive the grain into the feed-mouth 2 of the casing 1.Normally the driving-shaft 28 is driven by suitable power connectionswith a shaft of the threshing-machine, and it rotates the gear 30, themaster-gear 26, and the pinion 33 to drive the screw-shaft 31, whichextends across the feedmouth 2 of the casing 1. The trip 41 lies in thepath of the clutch-arm 36 to hold said clutch-arm free from rigidengagement with the master-gear, and'the latter is thus allowed torotate loosely on the counter-shaft for the purpose of driving thescrew-shaft 31 in a positive manner, but without actuating the verticalshaft 17 or the feeder and distributer 20 carried thereby. Assuming thatthe capacity of the receiver 6 is the basis of measurement, the grainaccumulates in the receiving-chamber 6 of the casing until it fills thesame, and when the grain has accumulated in sufficient quantity to fillthe feed-mouth 2 of said casin g and'oifer resistance to the rotation ofthe screw on the shaft 31 the resistance of the grain causes thescrew-shaft to move endwise in its bearings and cause its pinion 33 topress against the pivoted trip 41, thereby overcoming the tension of thespring 48 and forcing the stem 46 out of the path of the lip 39 of theclutch-arm 36. The spring 40 is then free to force the pivotedclutch-arm to a position where its gripping-faces 38 impinge forciblyagainst the gripping-flange 27 of the master-gear, and thus the clutchand driver operate to make the master-gear fast with the shaft 22 and,the master-gear being positively driven by the driving-shaft 28, causesthe Ver tical shaft 17 to rotate and carry with it the rotary feeder ordistributer. This feeder 20 forces the grain from the receiving-chamberinto one of the delivery-spouts 49 or 50 in a positive manner, and asthe feeder is rotated all the grain contained within the casing 1 isswept from the chamber 6 and forced into the bag or sack. The rotationof the feeder continues as long as there is any grain in the mouth ofthe receiver (3 to offer resistance to the rotation of the screw-shaft,and in the service of the apparatus the rate of discharge of the grainis such that the feeder will rotate a number of times in order to effectthe thorough discharge of the grain. As soon as the grain is removed ordelivered from the casing 1 and ceases to offer resistance to therotation of the screw-shaft 31 the spring 40 forces the trip-arm and thescrew-shaft to their normal positions, and the spring-cushioned stem 46is carried by the trip into the path of the lip 39 of the clutch-arm, sothat as the clutch approaches the trip the lip engages with the head ofthe cushioned stem 46, the effect of which is to throw the clutch on itspivot sufficient to release its gripping faces 38 from rigid engagementwith the master-gear. The impact of the clutch on the trip is cushionedby the spring 47 of the stem 46, and thus the strain and jar on theparts is reduced to a minimum to obviate injury or breakage of theworking elements of the mechanism. The master-gear is thus caused torotate idly on its countershaft while the trip is in the path of theclutch, and the op erator adjusts the gate 51 to direct the grain intothe other bag or sack suspended from one of the delivery-mouths of thecasing. The operation of filling the chamber Owith grain is now repeateduntil the grain has accumulated in the chamber in sufficient quantity tooffer resistance to the free rotation of the screw-shaft, whereupon thescrew-shaft is impelled endwise, and the operation heretofore describedis repeated. It is evident that when the sack has been filled it can bedetached from the spout of the casing, the gate adjusted to deliver thegrain to the other spout, and the filled bag replaced by an empty bag.The operation of sacking the grain may thus be carried on continuously,and the feeder or distributer is only rotated when sufficient grain hasaccumulated to set into action the parts which control the rotation ofthe feeder. The action of the parts is wholly automatic, except as tothe adjustment of the gate 51, and this gate may be adjusted bytheoperator when the filled sack is detached and replaced by an empty sack.

I have provided my improved measuring and bagging attachment with agrain-meter 56, which is mounted on the head of the easing 1 above thecounter-shaft 22 thereof, and this meter has one of its elements gearedwith a worm 57 on said counter-shaft 22; but the employment of the meteris not material, and it may be dispensed with, if desired.

It is evident that changes in the form and proportion of parts may bemade without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the advantages ofthe invention, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes asproperly fall within the spirit and scope of the intion.
